re: land the loop-point correction where the claim actually lives

Browse Source 
The port found its exporter still shipping 'no loop-point field has been
identified anywhere' in the field manifest.json concatenates, days after the
correction existed in other fields. Auditing this corpus the same way found the
same failure here: the refuted sentence was still standing untouched in
bgm-two-stems.md -- where anyone looking up BGM behaviour arrives -- and in
HANDOFF.md, the one page the port is told to read. My correction had gone into a
NEW page only.

Both fixed in place, each naming the refutation rather than quietly deleting the
old claim, and each carrying the measured window [9.44, 71.31] s at 61.87 s.

METHOD entry: writing a correction down is not landing it. Grep the corpus for
the CLAIM, not for the file you were working in. Plus the port's trap in doing
that audit -- a replacement that quotes the refuted sentence in order to name it
will match a substring search from inside the paragraph saying it is false.

🔴 **But "no loop-point field has been identified … so a menu loop is
authored" is REFUTED (2026-08-30), and this bullet said it for days after.**
There is no loop point in the **file header**; there is one in the **XMA decoder
context**, written at runtime via `XMASetLoopData`, and Xenia already logs it.
For `BGM_103` it is **`[9.44 s, 71.31 s]`, cycling every 61.87 s** — measured by
watching three wraps, so the game never reaches the fade at all. That is *why*
the stored tail looks unusable: it is never played.
[`menu-bgm-loop-fields-conflict.md`](menu-bgm-loop-fields-conflict.md)
⚠️ Reach: measured on `BGM_103` only. Whether every bank carries loop bounds is
untested — but "the format has nowhere to put one" is dead.
## ✅ Confirmed at runtime — two stereo streams decode at once
